TO  CLEAN  THE  BATTERY  TERMINALS
AND CABLES

Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death.
Wear eye protection.  Work in a well-
ventilated area.  Do not smoke or allow a
spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery.
If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with
water for 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.

REFER TO THE PHOTOS AT LEFT

1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.

2. Remove  the  cover  of  the  battery  box  by

pushing  in  the  tabs  on  the  front  and  back,
then lifting up.

3. Fan  the  area  around  the  top  of  the  battery

with  a  piece  of  cardboard  (or  another  non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.

4. Remove  the  fluid  sensor  from  the  battery.

Unscrew  the  wing  nuts.    Remove  the  battery
cables.

5. Clean  the  battery  posts  with  a  battery

terminal cleaner or a wire brush.

6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on

the ends of the battery wires.  Us a stiff brush
or sandpaper.  

DO NOT

apply corrosion resisting

sprays  or  pads  to  the  terminal  rings  or  posts
after  you  have  cleaned  them,  since  this  could
prevent the system from charging properly.

7. Replace  the  fluid  sensor  in  the  top  of  the

battery.    Then  replace  the  battery  cables,
BLACK  to  the  NEGATIVE  (-)  post  and  RED  to
the POSITIVE (+) post.  Tighten the wing nuts. 

8. Secure  the  cover  on  the  battery  box  by

slipping the tabs through the fittings on the

front and back of the box.

9. Plug  the  charger  back  into  the  wall  outlet.

(You should provide additional protection for
the control unit by using a surge protector.)

10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the

YELLOW  button  on  the  front  of  the  control
panel for one (1) second.

5. Remove the old battery from the battery box

and place the new battery in the box.  Fill the
battery  following  the  instructions  on  page  8
or 9.

6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on
